ayumi hamasaki Arena Tour 2006 A - (miss)understood - Customer Reviews

Ayu continues surpising me with her concerts AT2006 is probably the best ARENA TOUR that I've ever seen I hope that she continues make concerts of this quality. AYU RLZ!!

I will keep this short, Ayumi is brilliant. The concert is amazing, this girl can never do anything wrong. Her music is always amazing and her performances can never be matched. Basically, this concert and Ayumi are perfect.

I'm a usual buyer of Ayu concerts b/c I'm her biggest fan XD but this one...lacked "heart"...in the ending song, she didn't really cry or anything...just got a lil' choked up. That's very unusual for Ayu. I don't think she feels the connection with the audience anymore since her popularity is fading...I'll love her always though. The main thing about this show is the effects. Really entertaining.

Ms. Hamasaki's live shows are always a fascinating merger of music, visual arts, dance and technology - and this tour is no exception. The big set piece this time around is a huge, semi-transparant video screen that splits into 8 sections. Each section is movable and it's put to some stunning uses. There's also live stage FX like rain and a suspended sphere from inside of which, Ayumi sings above the crowd. The costumes and dancing are amazing, with trf members Chiharu, Etsu and Sam once again lending their significant talents to some of the choreography. Still, concerts have to be about the music and the singing more than the presentation - and once again, the band and Ms. Hamasaki do a phenomenal job. Plus, this is a 3 hour concert spanning 2 discs - and that doesn't even include the extras on the third disc. So, you certainly get your money's worth. Being one who works professionally in sound, I do wish the 5.1 mix on her DVDs utilized the center channel more - there's almost nothing in it. But the mix is otherwise excellent. If you've seen concert DVDs of Ayumi Hamasaki, this one will certainly live up to your expectations. If you haven't, what are you waiting for?

Is the first time i get a DVD from Ayu show, but i see before others, and always SHE give to her fans a new show (visual specially) and always is a Party and Celebration with her friends, band, and the people. I Hope she stay in the Scenery more years and i can go some day to one of her show, Arena or Countdown.

As long as it is a concert by ayu chan, it will always be the best. You don't even have to think, it will surely be the best. A must buy for ayu fans all over the world!
